Overview:
Your family of origin (FOO) is who raised you, not necessarily who you are related to
biologically. While genetics and heredity are important to know and trace for medical,
mental health, and substance abuse reasons, our FOO is the underpinning of our
morals and values.
Instructions:
• Identify your family patterns and history – (e.g. medical, mental health, substance
abuse, education, family relationships – closeness or cut-offs, military service)
• Reflect on the morals and values that were instilled by your FOO and how that
shaped your current belief system.
Requirements:
• Two pages maximum, excluding the Title and Reference page.
• APA format, including an in-text citation for referenced works.
• No scholarly resources needed.
Be sure to read the criteria by which your work will be evaluated before you write
and again after you write.
